Abstract (en)
A child seat device (10), for use in a vehicle having a seatbelt (12) for securing the child seat device to the vehicle seat (14), has an inflatable child seat (20) which includes an inflatable bottom panel (22), an inflatable back panel (24) upstanding from the rear of the bottom panel, and a pair of opposed, laterally-spaced inflatable sidewall panels (26). Each of the sidewall panels (26) has a back portion (30) projecting forwardly from a respective side of the back panel and a bottom portion (32) projecting upwardly from a respective side of the bottom panel. An inflatable brace (50) disposed in each of the sidewall panels intermediate the back and bottom sidewall portions, limits pivotal movement of the back and bottom sidewall portions towards one another. Each of the braces (50) defines a single interior air chamber having, at most, limited gaseous communication with the bottom, back and sidewall panels. Alternatively, a substantially rigid frame (200) is secured to the back panel (24) for movement therewith as a unit, thereby to limit pivotal movement of the back and bottom panels (24,22) towards one another. The frame (200) defines a pair of apertures (212) configured and dimensioned to receive therethrough a seatbelt (12), thereby to secure the device (100) to the vehicle seat (14). A releasable harness (62') maintains the torso of a child (c) intermediate the sidewall panels (26). <IMAGE>
